which electorate are you referring to? the 35% who voted for trump or the 65% who did not? I have been hearing references to the republican electorate, which is in no means unanimous or even a majority for trump. And that's not even taking into consideration the democrats who voted in that 35%.
Not only does Romney seem to lack the ability to inspire us with the ideas of our Declaration of Independence from a "big government" tyrant (King George III), and the similarity of that King's actions to the tyranny we face today, but he also cannot convey the "vision" thing for our future which harmed Bush 1's candidacy."The People" who make up the 60 - 70% of Republicans who don't vote for him likely have studied their American history accounts of Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Madison. They are looking for a modern inspirational leader like Reagan--a man who had taken the personal time to immerse himself in the ideas essential to liberty, and was willing and able to recognize the enemies of freedom and to engage in a battle of ideas against the counterfeit ideas of socialism.
His casual writing off of the President as "a good man who is in over his head," or that "does not understand how the economy works," is either naive or a dangerous deliberate mischaracterization.
True, we may be looking at a Trump / Clinton love/hate relationship campaign this summer.
But if the 65% who didn’t vote for Trump do as they did in 2012, and stayed home on election day, refusing to vote for Romney, Clinton will win. By some accounts it was close to six million. That was enough to get Obama a second term.
Since then, ObamaCare has kicked into full force, illegal aliens have swamped our borders, millions of jobs have disappeared, our enemies no longer respect us and our Allies no longer trust us. ISIS has run amok all over the Middle East and on and on and on.
I wonder if those six million people regret doing so now?
The Primaries are like the America’s Choice Awards show. They vote for their favorite candidate that they would like to see get the nomination, and the plurality wins, some states being winner-take-all, like Florida and Ohio coming up next.
The GOPe are flooding our TV and radio airwaves and cable channels here in Florida with DON’T VOTE FOR TRUMP commercials. I imagine it’s the same in Ohio. What they don’t understand is they are really pushing those people who do vote for Trump into even harder stances against everyone else. If none of the GOP candidates garner enough delegates to win on the first ballot at the convention, we may see a brokered convention, a first since Truman times.
If that happens, even Romney could get the nod again, and the same thing would happen as in 2012, only worse. All the Trump and Anti Romney voters would stay home and Hillary will become the next POTUS in a landslide.....................God help us all.......................
